RE: Looking for help researching united states airforce

<t> The Air Force didn't become a separate service until 1947. The guy with the jump wings (actually looks like he has a combat jump) could have been part of the Army prior to the separation of the services and continued to wear the insignia. Over his right front breast pocket is a Unit Citation ...

RE: ? training land combat units

<t> You can "train" experience up to 50 by having an objective set and having it at level 100. You gain a point or so every so often if the stars align up to 50. After that experience is gained in combat operations as long as you don't lose too much during battle and have it replaced by recruits.<br ...

AV support required = 6 means you have six planes at the base that require support. Tenders should be included in the count now.
